Hear me out… JC Penny style photo minis. Should I post the results?

06/09/2026

Not every photographer is for every client, and that’s actually a good thing.

I asked five photographers to edit the exact same photo. Same image. Same starting point. Five completely different results.

When you’re hiring a photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to press a button. You’re hiring their eye, their creativity, and the way they see the world.

Some people love bright and airy.
Some love dark and moody.
Some want true-to-life colors.
Some want bold, artistic edits.

There isn’t a right or wrong answer. That’s the beauty of it.

Which one are you drawn to? 👇

Okay but can we talk about how adorable these two are?! 😭🫶🏼

Summer is the perfect time to break out the fun colors, and these mama-daughter photos have me absolutely obsessed.

I’ve added several new backdrop colors to the studio and I’m dying to shoot on them. If you’ve been thinking about updating photos, send me a message and let’s make it happen! ☀️✨

Y'all. 😭🍎

My daughter starts kindergarten this year and I am absolutely not okay.

I was taking her back-to-school photos this week and realized there are probably a lot of parents out there feeling the exact same way. Somehow summer just started and now we're already buying school supplies and backpacks?!

As much as my mama heart wants to slow time down, I'm so thankful I'll have these photos to look back on.

So because I know I'm not the only emotional parent out there, I'm hosting Back to School Minis on June 18th & 19th in Rockford, TN!

I'll have all the fun props ready (apples, books, school desk, and more), you just bring your kiddo and anything special you'd like included!

These are perfect for kindergarteners, big kids, and everyone in between. Whether they're starting school for the first time or heading into their senior year, it's such a sweet milestone to document.

20-minute session
15 edited images guaranteed

Great for families in South Knox, Eagleton, Maryville, Rockford, Seymour, and surrounding areas.

If your mama heart is struggling a little too, I've got you. ❤️

Okay but can we talk about how cute these two are? 🥹

I met them through social media and was so excited when they reached out about engagement photos. They are genuinely the sweetest couple, and getting to capture this season for them was such a joy.

These are the sessions that make me love what I do. I already know their wedding day is going to be a good one!

Spaghetti themed one year old session! 🥹

Sweet boy loved the spaghetti right up until it touched his toes and you can fully see the exact moment the overstimulation kicked in scrolling through these photos haha.

These are the kinds of photos that feel so fun to look back on years from now. Happy birthday sweet River. So glad I got to capture this stage for your family.
